It's really unfortunate that in 2025, going into 2026, people are still stealing people's content. When you see me put my price, my website, my information over the videos, it's not because I'm sick of people asking questions in the comments. It's because I'm sick of people stealing my work, and I literally have to put hashtags and logos and trademarks all over my stuff in order for people not to steal it. They will literally put a black slab over your video and put their phone number over it, knowing good and well they cannot provide the service that you provide. But still, some customers are fooled. They will go to you and they will get these services, and you know that you did not provide them. It's just unfortunate. But anyway, if you see that pink background, which is why I still have not changed the paint on my walls, is because it's mine. Okay, TTdoesitall.ai if you're interested in booking a consultation. Yeah, I, I don't know what else to say, but yes, people are still stealing people's content. In 2025. So when you see a hairstylist with all of this writing across their videos, 9 times out of 10, it's not because we're trying to throw the information in your face. It's because we want to protect our content. So have y'all ever had this? Are y'all experiencing this? Is this just me? Like, is this something that's going down in 2025? Like, what's going on? And I'mma just drop this gem. It's not us. It's not Black people that's stealing my content. I'm just gonna say that.
